It was an easy to follow course
February 09, 2026by: Rokaia Desai - South AfricaProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL Course
The course is well paced and easy to follow. The assignments were well structured and challenges you to think independently. Responses from the instructors helped to understand whether you are going in the right direction and how to approach certain scenarios.
Tough but great learning
February 08, 2026by: Lee Harker - United KingdomProgram: Online Level 5 TEFL Course
Its a very good course, taught me a few things about English that I never knew. Its was enjoyable and now I just need to find a job. The course is tough but if you knuckle down you can get a good qualification which then gives you the ability to earn whilst travelling. I completed the level 5, it took me a bit longer as I was also working 2 jobs, now I live in Thailand
Engaging and thorough!

Invaluable advice and tools. Thorough on all of the key aspects of English and teaching. Several informative further readings. Quick and helpful feedback. An obvious passion and care for the work done in the course.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
What inspired me the most was being able to help people achieve their dreams of travelling and teaching English in other countries around the world. Some people are in the middle of switching careers after many years and seeing them follow their dreams just as I did at some point in my life and take such a big step, is admiring and gratifying.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I have worked in educational/travel industries for over two and a half years now. I love to work with people who are looking to broaden their horizons and experience new things. Our students will go out into the world and teach others the very valuable skill of the English language. It is great to be part of the process. It is great to assist people in reaching their goals of becoming a certified TEFL teacher.
